It finally snowed. I had planned on running to Sessions Mountain this morning, but when I saw the snow I decided to change plans. I ran the Wild Rose Trail. I made fresh track all the way up. Instead of coming down the same route, I ran down the ridge past the radio towers. Then I headed back along the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. I passed a lady who was out walking her dog. Since there was only one sets of tracks in the snow, I'll bet she was wondering "Where did he come from?" It was a great run this morning. I love running in the snow.

Glad you are in the snow! Just brown ground here in Idaho. Nice running the week.

Woooo Hooo! Nothing like fresh tracks. Too bad it didn't happen until now.

What a great run! 8.5 on snow and a trail has got to be a great workout!
